Materials:
  • 8 ohm speaker
  • 3 -force sensing resistors
  • 7 – 10kΩ resistor
  • 100Ω resistor
Setup:
  • Connect the Piezo speaker to ground
  • Negative the ground
  • Connect buttons(keys) to analogs:1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, & 7
  • Connect buttons negatively w/ 10k Ω Resistors
Production/ troubleshooting:
  1. Began building on a larger board for ample room. 3 pressure boards were wired, functioned properly.
  2. Fixed the sound produced by the boards, raised the delay, and assigned each pressure board a note specific to the keys on a keyboard.
  3. Decided to replace the existing pressure boards with buttons, a better functioning, easier way to play.
  4. Finished all the buttons (keys) to the board.
  5. Encountered an issue involving setup...occurred only after the buttons had been wired...we were able to solve the problem by switching to "if" statements for when the button states are low.DSC02284.JPGDSC02285.JPGDSC02286.JPG
